Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Skeletal System

front 1

Axial Skeleton

back 1

those one that lie around the body's center of gravity

front 2

Appendicular Skeleton

back 2

bones of the limbs or appendages

front 3

Articular cartilage

back 3

which cover the one ends at movable joints

front 4

Hyaline Cartilage

back 4

Provides sturdy support with some resilience or "give"

front 5

Elastic cartilage

back 5

tolerates repeated bending
ex. external ear and epiglottis

front 6

Fibrocartilage

back 6

great tensile strength and can withstand heavy compression

front 7

compact bone

back 7

smooth and homogenous

front 8

Spongy bone

back 8

composed of small trabeculae of one and lots of open space

front 9

Long bone

back 9

are much longer than they are wide

front 10

Short bone

back 10

typically cube shaped, contain more spongy bone than compact bone

front 11

Flat bone

back 11

generally thin, with two waferlike layers of compact one

front 12

irregular bone

back 12

ones that do not fall into one of the preceding categories

front 13

sesamoid bones

back 13

special types of short bones formed in tendons

front 14

Diaphysis

back 14

shaft

front 15

periosteum

back 15

fibrous membrane covering

front 16

epiphysis

back 16

the end of the long bone

front 17

epiphyseal plate

back 17

a thin area of hyaline cartilage that provides for longitudinal growth of the bone during youth

front 18

epiphyseal line

back 18

thin bone covering the epiphyseal plate after the growth stops

front 19

yellow marrow

back 19

as storage region for adipose

front 20

red marrow

back 20

involved in forming blood cells

front 21

Endosteum

back 21

covers the trabeculae of spongy one

front 22

Trabeculae

back 22

compact bone appears to be dense and homogenous

front 23

Central(haversian) canal

back 23

runs parallel to the long axis of the bone and carries blood vessels, nerves and lymph vessels through the bony matrix

front 24

Ostteocyte

back 24

mature bone cells

front 25

lacunae

back 25

chambers

front 26

Circumferential lamellae

back 26

lacunae arranged in concentric circles around the central canal

front 27

Osteon(haversian system)

back 27

a central canal and all the concentric lamellae surrounding it

front 28

Canaliculi

back 28

tiny canals radiating outward from a central canal to the lacunae of the first lamella and then from lamella to lamella.

front 29

Perforating(Volkmann's) canal

back 29

canal that runs into the compact bone and marrow cavity form the periosteum at right angles of the shaft.

front 30

back 30

immovable joints

front 31

amphiarthroses

back 31

slightly movable joints

front 32

diarthroses

back 32

freely movable joints

front 33

Fibrous joint

back 33

front 34

suture

back 34

the irregular edges of the bones interlock and are united by very short connective tissue fibers

front 35

syndesmoses

back 35

the articulating ones are connected by short ligaments of dense fibrous tissue: the bones do not interlock

front 36

gomphosis

back 36

a tooth is secured in a bony socket y the periodontal ligament

front 37

cartilaginous joints

back 37

the articulating bone ends are connected by a plate or pad of cartilage

front 38

symphyses

back 38

the bones are connected by a broad,flat disc of fibrocartilage

front 39

synchondroses

back 39

the bony portions are united by hyaline cartilage
